6 True Scary Stalker Horror Stories From Reddit

I've worked a few odd jobs in my life my first job was a summer job at 16 during summer break at a dairy farm I absolutely hated it there and it made it harder for me to find the motivation to even try finding work again when the time came I don't really remember how it was first referred to the job but the following summer I ended up working as an office assistant for a self-employed photographer my parents knew her because she used to be a member of their church and my sister attended her 4-h program when she had it by that time her health had begun to take a hit as she claimed it was a mixture of things from chronic Lyme to fibromyalgia I had also been warned by my parents that she was a little off she was very religious and claimed to have had real encounters with demons even participated in a few exorcisms I'm an atheist Santa skeptic so I never took her story seriously aside from the weird things she would tell me she was mostly harmless and working for her was not hard the job basically required me to do a lot of data entry as well as help prep her photos with minor touching up in the addition of her company watermark before uploading them to a site where her customers could browse them and then pick which ones they wanted to order she primarily photographed horse events dressage stadium and cross-country jumping and for the first several months my job stayed in her living room which was basically my office space at the time eventually I was talked into tagging along it shows where she trained me as a photographer and soon I was shooting at the events along with her it was boring work I won't lie I'm not a horse person but things didn't get weird until a year later when I learned the hard way it was not her that I needed to worry about she had two sons one who was out of state and the other who was in the Navy the latter of the two and guy called Nate I had only heard small things about he was somewhere on the autism spectrum but she was never clear on what exactly his diagnosis was she believed firmly he was vaccine injured and that all his oddities could be traced back to vaccines when he finally returned home I met him for the first time while working in her living room he seemed like a nice guy a little bond but not concerning he was obsessed with movies and being a bit of a movie buff myself whenever he would venture to the living room and strike up a conversation it would always be about whatever movies we were into or were excited to see I should point out here that I was only 18 by this point and he was in his mid 30s at some point he got it in his head that I was interested in him and though he never said anything directly to me I had to find out about it from my parents my mom worked as a secretary at her church innate knew it I can only guess my boss had told him one afternoon Nate showed up at my mom's desk and started gushing about me he talked about how much fun I was how he loved talking to me how he was planning to take me to the movies and take me to his church and all these other plans he had for me my mom was beyond uncomfortable as was the pastor who happened to overhear it and when I got home that night she told me what had happened and suggested I make sure not to lead him on it was completely baffled because I hadn't done anything we never even discussed the possibility of doing anything together I got even more uncomfortable around him when I overheard a conversation between himself and my boss in the next room he was talking about his experience in the Navy while she was talking about the dangers of Islam at one point he said in a completely serious tone if I had it my way I just shoot and kill any Muslim I met problem solved my boss simply laughed the comment off like it was nothing and something in his tone really creeped me out I made an effort to acknowledge him less when he was around and kept the conversation short while stressing I had work to do eventually he got his own place and moved out of his parents house so I figured the problem is solved itself a couple years later I had moved out and my boss's company had closed and I was working someplace new I was friends with both my boss and Nate on Facebook and around that time I was finally coming out as an atheist something I couldn't do when I was still living at home one night my old boss messaged me asking about a ring I had on my finger it was a black ring with a white solid star in the middle of a black circle already knowing where she was going with this I told her it was just a ring she started accusing me of where to Graham because you didn't know what a pentacle was and then I was promoting Satan I tried several times to explain to her that not only was it not that symbol but that also paganism has nothing to do with Satan anyways but she refused to listen so I just ignored her it was typical behavior of her and not worth the argument the next morning I had a message for Nate telling me I needed to come to his church with him I told him no and the messages I received back gradually grew angrier and angrier he went from asking to demanding I go with him he told me I was lost and that I would not find the answers I needed by living the life I was eventually he outright said he thought the fact that I was wearing a pentagram was disgusting and that was opening myself up for possession knowing that would be even less of a point in arguing with him than there was with his mother I went ahead and blocked him and her deciding I was done with both of them then he started showing up at my workplace he would always search through the store until he found me and then once he did he would corner me and not stop talking to me no matter how many times I tried to dodge him or tell him I needed to get back to work eventually the managers caught on and started intercepting him whenever he showed up and wasn't making enough to pay the rent with that job so I had to take up a second one within a week of working my second job which was in a different town he showed up there too this time I told the managers outright who he was and after that every time he showed up I was allowed to hide in the back room behind a locked door while they sped his order along and got him out during one of those many encounters while I was hiding in the back one of the managers was back there with me and putting employee time punches into the computer while both of us heard Nate's shouting in our direction I know you remember me that was the last straw for them and they told him his business was no longer welcome there they stopped showing up at my other job as well for a while which was a relief fast forward to a few years later I was getting used to not having to look over my shoulder every shift or check the parking lot for his truck then one day he reappeared he was browsing a section I was walking past when he spotted me and got his deer in the headlights look I made a beeline to the break room because just and made me scared after that he started showing up regularly I would always find ways to dodge and avoid him but he would still eventually spot me and know I was still there I was debating whether or not to tell the managers because at this point it had been a while since he had done anything and saying something just because I was nervous didn't feel right call me a coward or an idiot but that was my thought process and what happened next made me regret not speaking up it was bound to happen eventually but one night he managed to catch me while I was at the customer service desk he approached me and said hi and I immediately started to look for someone to signal over so I can make a break for it but before I could say a word he said something that made me feel sick how she's a little girl doing she's three now right I looked at him horrified I had him completely blocked from all my social media and I had his number blocked I was living at a new address and I am not seen or spoken to his mother since she confronted me about my ring I had not told either of them I was a parent now or that I was married and I was not friends with anyone who knew them but he knew how's your husband doing - he asked when I didn't answer he's good he's good man I said trying to reinforce the idea that I was not available to him and that I had no desire to have anything to do with him really where does he work at this point I felt like I was going to pass out thankfully another employee approached just to gather some rish elves and I got out of there as it was leaving he called out behind me I'll see you again we'll talk a lot and do something together we will I reported him to the managers telling them everything about the encounter including all the information he had on me and my family that he should not have had they were able to pull up his face on CCTV while I had not heard anything I'm guessing one of them finally managed to approach him because I hadn't seen him since this has been going on for ten years and I wanted to finally be over if he shows up again and going to call the police what seriously hoping it never comes to that I just want him to stop [Music] a couple of years ago I spent most of my time skating I didn't have many friends I could skate with so I was always on the lookout for new friends to skate with there was this really friendly guy at the skate park who seemed really motivated on making new friends and making somewhat of a skate crew he was really motivated on getting skate clips and photos to put on social media we got along and he was really friendly so I figured why not network with a new friend to skate with I gave him my number and he seemed perfectly normal at first he hit me up a few days later and I picked him up and we skated the whole time he still was completely normal and cool nothing suspicious or strange at all I dropped him off and everything was chill a couple of days later while I'm at school he texts me asking if I wanted to skate I was busy and didn't reply within an hour he sends me multiple texts saying something like why aren't you answering me what do they do I'm sorry I said screw it and that night asked him to skate I know that sounds really stupid but I thought maybe just on my previous interaction that he was on some sort of spectrum of autism even though this may have seemed like a sketchy decision to hang out with him the whole time we hung out it was completely normal it was the same friendly motivated guy in net however after I dropped him off things got worse a few days later the same thing happened where he texted me I got busy and he blew up because I didn't respond to him however this time I didn't reply at all that day or night and to set him off even more he sent me hundreds of texts over the next week going from aggressively clingy as seen before I guess that's the way to describe it to completely delusional we met when I was 19 but he texted me delusional crap saying remember when we were kids and you come over and we hang out you'd have your shirt off and we play I felt sorry for this guy I knew he was a good guy with a good heart but he just suffered from serious mental illness it seemed I just wish he had more people in his life who could help him control his issues later he started calling me over and over again I have hundreds of voicemails from him and the creepiest thing about the voicemails they are all silent he would call my phone and just sit there silently leaving voicemails where I could hear him breathing or your fan in the background this went on initially for a few months I thought he lost my number forgot about me but then a few more months after this all died down he started calling again but under an unknown number so I couldn't block him this happened off and on for about a year there was one incident where someone came to the house went through our gate vandalized our front yard we're not sure if it was him or not but after that we installed cameras that was the worst of God mostly he called on and off for a year there was one instance where he used his mom's phone I believe it was his mom's phone because the text read this is Justin's mom just wants to know why he won't talk to him back before he started calling under unknown again I replied to the text asking if Justin was okay and saying he needed help then he texted me from his phone saying don't bother my mom this cooled down after about a year ago I'm not sure what happened to him but I hope he got the help he needs and is doing okay [Music] the story starts off with my sister in eighth grade and continues to this day so when I say long I mean long my sister Diana is six years younger than me in the first to be born in the United States as I emigrated to the USA with my family when I was 2 years old and she was in eighth grade I was in college but due to how close my family is it wasn't uncommon for me to visit them often and talk on the phone so the things to come I didn't personally witness but were related to me by my mother father her sister no my sister has always been one of those pretty girls who has always thrived on male attention even at that young age she was always very aware of how she looked how boys looked at her and that she wanted a boyfriend well that boyfriend came in the form of a freshman in high school named Elliot it wasn't that unusual for there to be a year to difference in relationships in my area even I had a freshman boyfriend when I was in eighth grade so when my sister locked her eyes on him she got a bit obsessed with the idea of being with him most likely due to the fact that he was in high school and she was in middle school when Elliot didn't want to go out with Diana he did however keep her on the hook which really messed with her mental state young hormonal and suffering what we know now is manic depression it mattered so much to her what people especially boys thought of her so we'd give her just enough attention in the form of phone calls meaning in her friend's neighborhood where he too lived and so on to keep her and fatch awaited with him but didn't go out with her this might seem like no big deal but it really ate away at my sister's self-esteem and sanity she started cutting sneaking out becoming a really aggressive person towards my family and so on sure honestly part of it was because she was spoiled but she was also a very young and unstable person which right incredibly hard to keep the two apart we didn't trust her going to her friend's house because we knew she'd just sneak out at night to visit Elliot a few houses down but she clung on to the hope that they would one day be together and well and she got in high school exactly that happened pretty much the moment she was no longer officially a middle schooler Elliot asked my sister out my father didn't like him due to the suffering my sister put herself through pining for him I didn't like him due the fact that he kept her on the hook until she was just old enough to be acceptable for his reputation but my sister would hear nothing of our warnings and my mother foolishly she admits now encourage the relationship in hopes that now they were finally together the emotional struggle would die down my sister would be easier to deal with well this relationship started off as many deal even at that young age with a happy-go-lucky honeymoon period where she loved him and he loved her and everything seemed to be doing fine but it wasn't long before we started noticing some possessive behavior from Elliot some subtle manipulation tactics diana has always had male friends she's naturally pretty and bubbly so she often still to this day tends to accidentally anger her female friends but male friends usually aren't as catty so she's always gravitated to male friends well that's where it started Elliot started developing a really crappy attitude whenever she hung out with her male friends even if he was invited to go along eventually it became easier for Diana to just not hang out with her male friends to avoid the argument and terrible attitude of Elliot and so she lost a lot of her male friends this eventually escalated to him calling her terrible names and asking did you sleep with him whenever she talked to the few male friends she had left at school during passing times in the hallway it ended with her not having any male friends at all this eventually also trickled down to female friends he didn't like when her female friends had boyfriends and Diana would hang out with them he didn't like when her female friends took her out places like the movies because you know she might meet another guy there and eventually he started calling her friends and whores for the way they dressed and acted and told Diana that if she hung out with him she must be one too they had quite the volatile relationship you could often hear them yelling at each other over the phone when she locked herself in her room you would hear stories about how he would nearly beat the crap out of certain guys at school for talking to her and during that first break-up periods which happened frequently he would be downright verbally abusive and threatening calling her fat garbage a whore and so on she also claimed on a couple of occasions that he had physically harmed her not hit her but shoved her against walls and stuff like that needless to say that made me pretty irate but I couldn't convince her to break up with him none of us could and whenever we tried to block contact they would just find a way to go around the rules it was almost impossible to keep them apart despite his abusive behavior and at the end of the day even if we banished her from going over to his house and took away all forms of Technology they still went to the same school it was impossible to keep them apart without her moving schools which she was not at all willing to do my parents didn't push at this time my father and I were done with this piece of crap and told Diana at any opportunity that he wasn't good for her my mother unfortunately was also being manipulated by him she never had a son and while it's not a really good excuse I can understand how she might have felt a soft spot for him after all we didn't see this behavior we just heard about it from Diana and others my mother was under the impression that Diana was being a bit overdramatic about her claims which isn't unlike my sister she had a bit of a chronic lying problem at this point in time and she also had sort of become an emotional support for Elliot who didn't have a good relationship with his own family but looking back even she admits that she was probably just being manipulated by him and so this relationship went on way longer than it should have college prep time comes around and my sister like many foolish young people decides to base her future education on what Elliot was doing he was attending a private college being a year ahead of her on a wrestling scholarship and she had applied and gotten accepted into a public university within miles of his school all they had to do was survive that year before she graduated high school and they would be practically attending college together well the year that he was at college and she was still at high school was an absolute mess that would slowly and thankfully start to lead to the end of their relationship he had started to hang out with these two girls at his university for some reason they like the pick on my little sister and deliberately make her worry that Elliot was doing stuff with him behind Diana's back whenever she confronted Elliot about this he would pull the whole aisle you know I'd never do that kind of excuse well one incident sticks out in my mind in regards to these girls in his relationship with them I was home for the holidays and I knocked on my sister's door to talk to her for some reason or another when I go into the room she is collapsed on her floor sobbing and I'm not talking about spoiled princess tantrum sobbing I'm talking about kneeling clutching her stomach because she felt like she was in physical pain from sadness type of sobbing I asked her what was wrong and she told me she had called Elliot and the girl had answered the phone implying that the girl was in his room late in the evening she was devastated we thought this would be the end of it but it wasn't he ended up spinning some story about how the girl was helping him with homework and he was in the bathroom when she answered the phone she bought it and the relationship continued incidents with these girls in Elliot became a regular occurrence things would seem fine then either Elliot or these girls would text her post on social media or do things that would make her question his loyalty then he would give her some sob story and she'd take him back It was as if he was purposely using these girls to torment my little sister was getting off on it and it was disgusting we ended up presenting all the evidence to the soccer coach of the girls picking on my sister as they were at the school on a soccer scholarship just to see if we could put an end to it well it did Lisa in regards to the girls the coach threatened to kick them off the team and take away their sports scholarship because obviously harassing some high schooler isn't very sportsman like around this time Dianna broke up with Elliot and for a while it seemed like it was over well manipulators rarely let things go so it wasn't long before he was in contact with her begging for her to take him back he even dropped out of college and moved back home to her hometown to prove that he didn't want anything to do with those girls but it wasn't really the same again not for Dianna they went out for a while on and off again and we had the witness some more of his terrible your mind possessive nature that was until she went to college my parents were not about to let her blow off college just because Elliot decided to drop out and move back to her hometown so she went off to college he around this time enlisted in the United States Marine Corps I'm not sure why he had did this because his entire teenage life he had been about keeping Diana close and being shipped off somewhere far away isn't a good way to do that but I can only assume it was the one day trap my sister in a state away from her family because while my mother was still for some reason in love with this kid my dad and I hated him and I'm sure he knew that I'm not even joking about how much we hated him as an example my sister asked my dad if he would give his blessing if they got married and my dad said he wouldn't even attend the wedding anyway she was off to college and he was in the Marines and then things got really serious while Diana was at college and she got that taste of social freedom she had never had before she actually got to go to parties hang out with friends and being around men who while immature were not complete a-holes and actually knew how to respect women he didn't like this and his texts and verbal abuse became more frequent she didn't stop though I mean how could he enforce things all the way out in California well she decided to visit him during this time and I have to say him honestly surprised my sister came back I was almost certain he'd either pop the question or harm her in some way preventing a return he did ask her to marry him but she told him she wanted to wait until he was done with his enlistment due to her not one who move away from her home state well she came back to us in good spirits apart from turning down his proposal they had had a good time well apparently it hadn't all sit well with him because his harassment of her became downright insane after this there's this little thing called the marine ball where soldiers take someone special to a huge dance type event think prom but on steroids Diana had wanted to go but mom said no and she had already paid for the first trip mentioned previously so my sister had to say well he ended up taking another woman instead rather than going alone like any other decent man in love would and posting the events of the evening and shameless detail all over social media needless to say this crushed my sister and was at last the final straw for her they broke up he was in California she was home with us and we thought finally this must be it it's done well of course it wasn't after this breakup my sister went into full swing self-destruction she didn't go to her college classes she partied all the time she blew through the money saved up for her for emergencies and something really bad happened and will not get into the grisly details because even in the state of anonymity is not my business to release those details and it sickens me to think about it but basically at one of the parties she was drugged and you can kind of guess where things go from there she kept it from me for years but my mother knew and so did Eliot he had been trying quite religiously I might add to get her back since she broke up with him so in a state of total devastation and mental insecurity she told him probably in hopes that he would comfort her and tell her he loved her and the sorts of things guys who actually care would deal well he didn't do that instead he called her a whore and told her she probably asked for it that it was her fault somehow and how she probably lied about it and then she willingly did it this obviously messed her up mentally one of the people in the world she loved the most despite the hell he had put her through these years shoved her tragedy back in her face and told her it was her fault what sort of man does that that was the actual final straw she never spoke to him again after that the damage had been done though after going through what she did in regards to being drugged losing the man she loved even if he was an a-hole because he decided to victim blame her it couldn't have been easy and she had a really rough time she was still deeply in love with him but she finally could see what type of man he really was a monster unfortunately she ended up dropping out of college however she did get a certification a few years later in a trade and is now living pretty successful life but the creepy behavior and stalking didn't stop in retaliation Eliot married a 19 year old girl who looked almost identical to my sister within one month of meeting her then and got that girl knocked up within a month and just under a year he had a kid and a wife all despite my sister and trust me it hurt her aplenty diana might have finally put an end to a cycle of manipulation and abuse but somewhere deep down she still loved that monster of a man he even sent her a text saying i'm gonna name my baby girl after you or i'm gonna name my baby girl what we wanted to name our baby girl just to mess with her he was a real psycho well I don't know what sort of reaction he was hoping for from that but he didn't get it instead she stopped responding to him locked him on social media blocked his phone and so on it kept calling and texting and trying to add her on Facebook Twitter so she eventually set a message on Facebook to his wife telling her what he had been doing in the history of their relationship in his stockman behavior the poor woman he tricked into marrying him was still with him but for a while the harassment stopped and for that it didn't stop entirely though still to this day she gets the worst type of text messages from anonymous number services this time calling her terrible names saying she asked to have what happened done to her saying the most horribly vulgar things about her that I'll never repeat every now and then she'll shoot another message to his wife to try to get it to stop but at this point we think he has admin control over his wife's account and somehow it gets to and deletes those messages before his wife can see them that or his wife is just as insane as he is and enjoys torturing my sister but I honestly doubt that I think she's an unfortunate pawn in this horrible cycle of abuse this man is dangerous it never escalated the beatings are worse with my sister but I do not doubt for a moment that had my sister agreed to his proposal that she would be in California stuck at home with a kid at 18 and 19 years old away from all her family in Anna verbally and physically abusive relationship the things he has texted her anonymously have been violent sexually and otherwise despite how rigorous the military psych evaluations are supposed to be he somehow managed to slip through the cracks and now has been trained to kill I don't have a problem with people in the military I respect our active service members and our veterans but that man is a dangerous man obsessive and now trained in the art of killing right now he's in California living with his wife and kid obsessively sending my sister vile messages but his enlistment is up in a year's time if he chooses not to reenlist he'll return to our state to our hometown just five minutes down the road my biggest fear is that if and when he returns that he will hurt my sister or hurt my parents and I to hurt her I have my own house now my sister lives with her current boyfriend who is the complete opposite in every way to Elliott's psychotic personality but my parents still live at the same house I wouldn't put it past him to hurt them to hurt Diana I just hope that he chooses a reenlist and never steps foot near my parents her sister again my sister just wants to move on we all do my mother is long they'll accepted her part as an enabler of their relationship and she was very wrong and while she does say she was manipulated she takes full ownership of her part in this and feels horrible about it she told him on one of his last attempts to reach out to the family that he is to on no certain terms message her again or come to the house and so far he has listened to her for now whenever he's out on leave and back home I'm scared I'll go over to my parents house one day and find something terrible I'm afraid that he'll use whatever military abilities he has to find my sister and do something horrible to her and her boyfriend my sister has never contacted the police over any of the events that have happened in this story while she hates him now she doesn't want to do anything to hurt his wife her kids so she won't contact the Marine Corps in regards to his stalking she also won't call the police mostly because she just wants it to be done with and would rather ignore him completely at this point I hope his stalking stops that she finally has enough and does contact the authorities but right now we're all just sort of in a state of anticipation waiting to see whether he'll stay in the Marines or not but Elliot I know it's very unlikely that you would hear this and recognize the story as you but you are a very sick man your jealousy verbal abuse stalking tendencies and capability of physical abuse will land you in prison one day I just hope it isn't for hurting my family because Elliot I will not let you get away with hurting my family you better be the one who's hoping we don't meet again because if you show up at my parents house I will not hesitate and calling the police and defending them and myself growing up I had a pretty great childhood before my parents divorced I lived in a big old house with tons of backyard space in a brand-new in-ground pool I was the middle daughter of only two brothers at the time so we had your typical suburban nuclear family setup going on my street had a lot of different kind of people living on it but my house was one of the only ones with a family in it meaning the house next door was an elderly couple with a whole bunch of dogs in the house across the street was another elderly couple who loved pranking me and my older brother they were awesome to be honest next to them live the guide this story is about Mike Mike was a secluded guy he lived alone and we only ever saw him and he was walking his dog or taking out the trash which was weird most people on my street and knew each other very well but no one really knew this Mike guy I hardly ever saw him lights on in this house and from what my older brother remembers he was never really out and about like everyone else on our street and it's not like he wasn't home because his really nice Jeep Wrangler was always parked in his tiny driveway unless he was at work one night I was in our dining room with my parents playing some type of board game there's a knock at the door this neighborhood was not rough by any means so my parents usually kept our door unlocked until it went to bed and rarely ever denied opening the door to anyone my dad noticed it was Mike and immediately opened the door being a friendly neighbor and inviting him in for a beer even though we had never really socialized with him before so Mike sits down and I remember sitting across from him next to my dad and being super shy and awkward because honestly this guy always gave me the creeps he precedes to tell my parents that he knew my mom worked for a home remodeling company this isn't weird for him to know my mom's company car had the logo plastered all over it and was always parked in our driveway and he wanted to know what her prices were etcetera so my mom starts giving him the sales pitch and I got bored of the adult conversation and leave to watch my brother play as Tony Hawk skateboarding game on his xbox Mike ends up staying for probably around an hour and ends up leaving with a friendly handshake and a thanks for the beer Yatta Yatta my mom and dad exchanged confused glances once they shut the door behind him and my dad made a comment about how that was super random and the guy kind of has a weird vibe about him but both he and my mom played it off as him being a loner and not having the best set of social skills after this encounter when mom started seeing Mike everywhere and I mean everywhere this was a big jump from before when we would see him literally nowhere besides in front of this house or walking his dog and it's not even like it's one of those things like when you buy a new car and suddenly every other car you see out driving is the same as yours I live in a pretty tight-knit community in a small town and it's hard to go out without seeing someone you know and everyone was always super friendly and says hello even if they don't know each other well my point being if my mom had ever seen Mike in public before she would have remembered it started off as her seeing him in common places like the grocery store or Target gas stations or the occasional trip to the bank then as the week's went on she noticed that every time she would pull out of our driveway to leave to go somewhere his red Jeep would immediately follow but he was waiting for her to leave and then with just jump in his car and follow she even noticed him in the parking lot of her work one time she knew it was him because of the bumper stickers he had things got really weird when he would start coming up to my mom while she was smoking on her porch or just sitting out there reading he would have really uncomfortable conversation with her the kind where the person you're talking to is just so socially awkward that holding a conversation with them is physically painful and just want them to leave this happened about twice a week and my mom was starting to get really sketched out by his behavior I think her breaking point was one day when she was at the gym and he showed up he had followed her there before and she would always see him there using one of the machines behind her and could feel him staring at her the whole time anyway this time he showed up about 45 minutes into her usual one-hour workout so he got onto the machine behind her and was there for the last part of her routine and she got to leave he followed her 15 minutes into his workout he just decided to get up and leave the exact same time my mom did not normal she even took a super weird out-of-the-way route home to affirm her suspicions that he was following her and sure enough he was behind her the whole time she was fed up she came back super freaked out and told my dad that the next time he pulled this crap she was gonna confront him and hopefully scare him off fast forward a few weeks after this incident and things had died down almost completely my mom started to think that he had moved on to something else or it realized that he was being a total weirdo one night I woke up late at night and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water it must have been at least midnight late for a ten-year-old because my parents were asleep in the only light on in the house was a small lamp we kept on top of our piano in the dining room to get from my bedroom to the kitchen I had to walk through the dining room the same one that looked out to our front porch and faced Mike's house across the street I should mention that there is also a huge bay window on the same side of the dining room that is facing the street so on my way through the dining room I looked to my left just to take a peek outside what I saw I will never forget it was Mike just sitting on our porch on one of our chairs looking at my house through the huge bay window we both realized we saw each other at the same time and his eyes got huge and he sprang up and sprinted back across the street to his house that was so terrified that I never even told my parents I know that's dumb but I was only 10 and was afraid my parents of not believing me or worse than believing me and then my dad going over there and seriously messing Mike up I did my best just to forget about it from then on he never bothered my mom and my parents ended up divorcing about two years later and we moved out of that house and he never got his house remodeled either even though I don't live there anymore I hope I never see Mike again [Music] so this was a couple of years ago when I was in eighth or ninth grade I had two friends who I'll call Matt and Amy see Amy had taken an extreme liking to Matt like really extreme Amy would downright attack anyone that so much has bumps in the mat I don't know if it was just an obsessive crush or something but it really made everyone in our friend group uncomfortable matt is a sweet guy so he didn't really judge her about it but he would always talk about how annoyed he got when she would get defensive over him not even a year of Matt and Amy meeting things got really strange whenever I was hanging out with them I would notice that Amy would stare at me if I ever got too close to Matt or even touched him I should say at this time that I was starting to figure out that I was a lesbian so obviously I had no attraction romantically towards Matt and definitely didn't flirt so I told Matt about this and he told me he was getting annoyed with her acting like that too with everyone else even his definitely straight male friends cement and I started kind of avoiding Amy and didn't really invite her to hang out in hopes that she'll give up and go away or something this was really stupid but we were like 13 and didn't know how to have serious conversations a few weeks after we started avoiding her I was starting to get like a lot of emails for inappropriate websites in my school email which is like panic inducing for me because I used that email for all school related things like opening up presentations in the end I created a new email for all my school stuff which was a big hassle because I had to transfer every file over nothing happened for a while and toei I started getting anonymous threats and really inappropriate things in my facebook inbox this doesn't sound that bad but I was 13 and one of the messages was talking about brutally killing my pets while describing how to get into my backyard this was super creepy and I told Matt about it and he was saying he was getting weird messages too he said that he was first sent love poems and songs and stories about him he told the person to knock it off or he'll call the cops which was a bluff it stopped for a bit but started again this time it was like the person was threatening to hurt themselves and posted pics of hurting themselves to Matt we were both pretty freaked out by this yet we were too dumb and didn't tell her parents because we thought we would get into trouble somehow you know how kids act the online stuff keeps going on for a few months and gets more and more insane Matt and I decided we both have to delete our Facebook's because we were getting scared after we did that and just all stopped what we were getting these messages we didn't see Amy at all not at school or just at the local parks which was odd because it was a small town one day Matt and I planned to hang out after school and we were going to walk to his house I left my class and was going to meet up with him under this tree next to the parent pickup when I was a couple of feet away I noticed he was talking to someone I got closer walking slower than before and heard that they were arguing Matt was a quiet chill guy and I've never heard him yell before as I got closer I noticed him Matt was so angry his ears were red and that the person he was talking to was Amy I mean look very different - she looked paler and wore a lot of baggy long clothes even though it was a hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit I heard not say something like stop harassing me and my friends and you're literally insane even though he was screaming at her she had this really creepy grin like when you have a smile for a photo you don't want to take she says we haven't talked in so long I missed you I couldn't hear her properly and started to walk quickly to Mac because he honestly looked like he was going to swing at her when I caught up with them Matt looked relieved and said that we should just go and start it quickly towards his house I looked towards Amy before I left and she didn't have her weird smile anymore she was full-on glaring at me her face contorted that it emphasized her eye bags and sunken features she yelled something at me about my car but after seeing her creepy face I sprinted towards Matt to ask him what had just happened Matt was silent looking down into his hands while he cracked them a habit he had when he was stressed I decided not to push it and we forgot about it once we got to his house I stayed late playing video games at his house and by the time I went to walk home it was around 6:00 the Sun was starting to set but it would take at least an hour or so to fully set and I knew I could get home before that I made it home to an empty house heated up some dinner and fell asleep when I woke up the next morning I finally noticed my cat wasn't in my bed this was super weird because she always slept with me I thought maybe she was eating downstairs or something so I go and check her dish and her dinner from last night wasn't even touched I had this ominous feeling in my stomach that I tried to brush off but couldn't shake my parents were either sleeping or at work and I made my lunch and ate breakfast and walked the five minutes to my bus school was chill except that Matt kind of seemed super out of it after my algebra class he said he had to talk to me after school and said to meet at the tree again I was weirded out but said all right I also asked him if he had seen my cat because she was known to wander around the neighborhood before we headed our separate classes and he kind of just turned pale and shrugged it off to be honest I was annoyed that he didn't take it seriously and just went to class school ends and I meet up with him and said that he knew where my cat was I was kind of annoyed at this point because I straight-up asked him about it and he didn't say anything initially but I just wanted the info on my cat I asked him where she was and he looked really uncomfortable he pulled out his iPod Touch and showed me a gory picture of a cut-off cat's tail with a bloodied note and collar or the cat's name tag I started crying because he started saying he found this at his backyard door and the note said something about Matt cheating on them and this was their revenge Matt said he was sorry and something else but I was kind of zoning on at this point I only came back to focus when he started talking about Amy and that she must have done this they explained the conversation they had prior and that he found out she was the one sending the weird crap to him as other friends who apparently were getting stalked as well he said that amy was talking about how it was apparently Matt's girlfriend and that she was going to get revenge on me I remember that the day I went over to Matt's house she said something about my cat at this point we were both really creeped out we went over to my house that day and couldn't help but look out my window for Amy and after a week we noticed that we didn't see me again we even asked around if anyone else had seen her and they all said they noticed she wasn't there except for this girl who I didn't really know well she said that Amy moved to another state Matt and I were surprised at this nest why she said she didn't know but that Amy was super angry about it at this point all contact with Amy and me was severed and I never saw her again but Matt would receive love letters signed by no one for another year I stopped talking with Matt now we kind of drifted so I don't know if he was still getting the letters but all I know is that Amy if you're still roaming the plains where an I reside be ready because I'm coming for you [Music] I'm going to try my best to keep the anonymity of my location since this happened in my relatively small hometown but I will be sure to include all the important details when I was 15 years old I got my first real job as in not babysitting at a local restaurant my town I worked there up until I was about 17 I was a close family friend with one of the assistant managers she was basically like a second mom to me and so she always made sure I was well taken care of at this place the restaurant I worked at had a reputation for being kind of a dive but did attract a lot of locals regulars and people visiting from out of town so we were relatively busy every night no I have had my fair share of experiences with creepy old men hitting me in the years I worked there normally they were tourists just coming through for the night but there were a few regulars I had to stay away from but this story isn't about them this story is about one of my co-workers now if you know anything about service industries or have worked in one before you know that supervisors don't necessarily hire the best people to work in the back of the house food prep dishwashers etc usually these people are the ones who don't necessarily have the best past but are willing to work for cheap so they get hired anyway well the restaurant I was working at did not normally perform background checks before hiring so the back of the house was basically filled with a bunch of pervy middle-aged stoners who did a great job at making me feel uncomfortable from time to time I always learned to put up with it though the last summer I worked there and they hired a guy named Nick keep in mind I'm only five two and at the time they hired him I was only 16 years old nick was about 6-7 all muscular and had a face that you could immediately tell he wasn't someone he wanted to encounter in a dark alley he was probably in his mid-30s but drugs and made his face aged a lot quicker apparently he had a bad past with drugs also evident by how strung out he always looked and he had been in an underground MMA ring prior to being hired where I work so basically the second I saw him I knew this was a guy I didn't want to get to know fast-forward a few weeks and things start inevitably being weird with him keep in mind I was one of the only women who worked there who wasn't at least in her 30s and I was required to wear waitressing pants which tend to show off my figure this was the main reason why I always attracted attention from the lonely drug addicts that worked there so Nick eventually followed their lead it started off with the stairs when I walked by the ones that were way too long held and more menacing than the typical ones I would get from the guys in the back then it became him following me into back rooms just to stare and not say a word but give me a weird smirk when I would turn around and notice him standing there just watching me this continued for about a month until he really began to gain confidence he would approach me from behind while it was alone and whisper extremely inappropriate things in my ear and then laugh when I would tell him to screw off and leave me alone and before you ask yes I did tell my manager but the only one who took me seriously was the one who had hired me in the first place and she wasn't in charge of the employees in the back so basically anything she told him to do they didn't have to listen because they weren't under her supervision and the manager that was considered their boss was one of the ones who would harass me as well this manager actually made up a nickname for me alluding to my but this comes into context later and won't repeat it but just know that it was gross so at this point I was helpless I needed the job and money because I have seven siblings and wanted to provide for myself as much as I could and this was the only place close enough to my house though my parents could give me a ride and then drive myself yet so as the months went on Nick became more and more infatuated with me I had guy friends that work there tell me how he was always asking personal questions about me like where I go to school if I had a boyfriend even asking where the house was because he knew I lived close to the restaurant I used to change at work before I left if I had any plans after and once I had found that my bag with my change of clothes been gone through and the only thing missing was one of my bras that I had planned to change into to go out that night I can only assume it was Nick who took it my breaking point finally happened when he ended up groping me while I was reaching a high shelf I immediately broke down in tears and went to my best friend who agreed that this was enough I had always been seen as everyone's a little sister there most of the older guys who worked as servers or hosts would make sure to keep me away from the creeps and if anyone messed with me they had something to say basically Kai cursed Nick out and told him to leave me alone and from then on I wouldn't go into the back of the rest room without Kai or another male coworker with me this is what eventually caused Nick to lose interest in me or so I thought I should also know the situation that made me fear this Nick guy as much as I do today a few weeks before I quit I was working the closing shift it was myself Kai and the family friend manager a few other guys and Nick on the close and crew our managers the sweetest woman on earth and is always seeing the best in people so for the past few weeks she had been giving Nick small amounts of cash to pay for the bus supposedly but that night she finally told him that she had to stop giving him money because she knew he was probably buying drugs and she could lose her job Nick completely lost it he started screaming and towering over her calling her disgusting names and throwing papers and anything else he could find on her desk I heard the commotion and as I was in the next room over and walked out just as Nick flung her office door open in a fit of rage he glared at me with so much hate in his eyes and told me that if I told anyone what I saw I would regret it he was obviously high but his violence and tones scared the living crap out of me and walked into the office to see my manager sobbing begging me not to leave her alone with him so I stayed and she gave me a ride home thanking me for being there at the right time this is when I knew how unpredictable and violent this guy really was I ended up quitting my job at that place once I got my driver's license and could look elsewhere which was about five months after they initially hired Nick I got my new job as a barista at a local cafe and and worked there for almost two months pretty much never thinking about my old job or creepy Nick ever again until one night I was walking into my new job my shift started at 6:00 p.m. but it was late December so it was already completely dark outside my new job was in the complex with a few other stores but the parking lot was very dimly lit and it was a rainy night which made the whole place even more eerie as I'm walking in from my car I see a figure in the single streetlight near the end of the lot where my job's part of the building was I immediately froze I could have recognized that silhouette anywhere it was neck and he was just standing there in the middle of the pathway from the car to the door of my job facing me I knew who saw me because even in the dim light I could see the disgusting smirk on his face now from what I knew before Nikita's driver's license revoked and it always caught rides or took the bus home from work at my old job so I don't know how he got here it's also important to note that my job was on the end of the strip of stores and beyond it was nothing but the place where the dumpsters are so it was very odd for him to be standing there without the intent of going in my store all these thoughts were going through my mind as I was standing in the parking lot staring down this guy who had tormented me for months threatened me too I immediately became anxiety ridden but tried to play it off like I didn't recognize him as I walked by him though he said I finally found you again so I sprinted the last few feet in the cafe and proceeded to go to the bathroom and have an anxiety attack calling chi for the first time in months and telling everything that had just happened since then he had been coming into my work sporadically and every time he does I've become extremely flustered and find every excuse to get out of there who asked for me or make eye contact and wink at me from across the lobby I eventually told my current manager about my past with the sky so every time he comes in and he is easily recognizable my manager conveniently sends me to the back I'm so thankful to work in a place that actually cares about me now and doesn't tolerate any sexual assault or harassment like I've experienced at my first job I hate the fact that I had to go through that from the young age of 16 but it definitely helped me grow up a lot and learn to defend myself I just want to send the message to all the young woman that if you are in a situation where someone is treating you like this you don't have to put up with it yourself out do what's best for you nothing is worth living in fear you are worth more than that hey friends thanks for listening if
